starting this week, I can no longer pin firefox to my task bar as that icon will not open a working browser. I have downloaded firefox at least twice in the past week to get a working icon on my desktop and even the new icon may not open a working browers. By working I mean it will not connect to my home page it just keeps saying it is connecting and never dose

any suggestions?

What are you using as your startup / homepage?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

A very quick thing you could try. Disable your Best Buy pc app Detector Plug-in and see if that helps.
